Co-existence

Every day since before the hurricane Jim asked if I’d received a package. No. What is it? A present.

Today it finally arrived. Right now he’s working normal hours, but as a software guy, left to his own devices his schedule would change to that of a night owl.

I’ve been up nights catching up on email and the blog and as we live in an urban loft, our bedroom has no door (next door to our study) and it is open to catch the light from the living room and study windows overlooking downtown. It’s open from 7-10 feet, for about seven feet horizontally.

I used to leave the blinds open all night to get light from outside, but can only do that during winter months because the sun streams in here early morning and the A/C has to work overtime.

So I’ve been up middle of the night on my computer and he is trying to sleep in the next room. So he splurged and bought me a LED desk lamp, that we look forward to trying out after dark tonight. The base probably weighs 10 lbs. It adjusts to any position, can focus light downward (instead of into the bedroom) and is cool. Previously I used his desk lamp with a halogen bulb that burned hot and I would just sit here and sweat.

So now this night owl will presumably be able to work at 2:00 a.m. and my love will be able to get his thinking sleep. Thank you, love! Dee
